Description

Mat sense cycle signal and detect the apparatus and method of useful signal
Technical field
The present invention and the one-period signal and to detect the apparatus and method of useful signal relevant that is contained in useful signal by detection.
Background technology
So far, per second up to the data transmission speed of 54M bits to be implemented in the WLAN. and such specification can be at " IEEE 802.11a part 11:Wireless LANMedium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications:High-speed physical Layer in the 5GHZ band " and at " IEEE 802.11b part 11:Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications:Further HighSpeed physical Layer Extension in the 2.4GHz Band " or also can be at " ETSI TS 1-1 761-1 Broadband Radio Access Network (BRAN); Hiperlan Type 2:Physical (PHY) Layer " the middle discovery.In order to detect a useful signal; Must find the one-period signal that when a bursts of data of useful signal begins, is transmitted out.
Fig. 1 represents a time-histories figure, and one-period in the cycle signal u (t) that wherein has a definition since a specific time to one assorted letter signal n (t) takes place simultaneously.X axle on this figure is the unit interval of a sampling period, the index of just taking a sample, and what drawn along the y axle then is the amplitude that is comprising all signal r (t) of assorted letter signal n (t) and periodic signal u (t).The generation that described periodic signal u (t) is superimposed upon assorted letter signal n (t) must detect by a signal detector.If described signal detector operation is errorless, so at time t 0The time be bound to can not find periodic signal u (t).And the possibility of the error detection of described periodic signal u (t) must not take place in this cycle as much as possible.On the other hand, in case described periodic signal u (t) at time t 0Shi Fasheng, described signal detector is the existence of proving period signal as far as possible apace.Such error rate also should reduce as much as possible.Described cyclical signal u (t), and useful signal therefore should, for example verify with 90% probability within the time of 4 μ s.
Fig. 2 represents a kind of possible application of such signal detector.The described analog mixed-signal r (t) that comprises assorted letter signal n (t) and may comprise periodic signal u (t) has the amplifier of automatic gain control 1 by one and amplifies and be fed to the transducer 2 of an analog/digital.And the complex digital signal s (t) that can collect from the output of described analog/digital converter 2 is fed to described signal detector 3.In addition, described signal s (t) is fed to a receiver 4.Described signal detector 3 sees through the described receiver of a signalisation that appears at detector output DA and whether detects one-period property signal.
Because described amplifier with automatic gain control (AGC) 1 has changed gross power, therefore the change of the power of a pilot signal s (t) is to be used for sense cycle signal u (t).Amplifier with automatic gain control 1 makes signal gain can be adapted to needs from the time to another time.For this purpose, described power can be in the input fluctuation of described analog/digital converter 2, thereby also in the input DE of this signal detector 3 fluctuation, this also is why whether can't provide appearance that reliable information verifies this periodic signal u (t) in the variable power of the described signal s of input (t).
Fig. 3 is illustrated in that the defined data that are used for transmit and are used for synchronized outburst structure between conveyer and transmitter in the foregoing IEEE specification.Described outburst structure is being begun by the preface STP that short training sequence was developed, and described preface STP also is referred to as PLCP preface or OFDM training structure.The signal (short training sequence) that one 0.8 μ s are long is called t in Fig. 3 1, in STP, in the time of whole 8 μ s, repeat 10 times.In Fig. 3, these repeat with t 2, t 3, t 4..., t 10Represent.Be right after the back then be by a guard at interval (Guard Interval, GI2) and two preface LTP that training sequence T1 and T2 are developed.LTP also is extended to the time of whole 8 μ s.Because LTP and the outburst section signal that is right after after LTP, data 1, data 2 all are unessential in this case, therefore will describe in detail no longer further in the article below.About finding in 17.3 joints of such detailed description in can the specifications of described in front IEEE 802.11a.
In order to detect a outburst, the periodic signal t of described preface STP at receiver terminal 1, t 2, t 3..., t 10Brought use.In order to detect the periodic signal in signal s (t), can utilize described periodic signal t 1, t 2, t 3..., t 10During according to the translation of this signal period to similitude itself.And do not having under the situation of periodic signal, described signal s (t) also would not show any periodicity.
In described in front second piece of background document ETSI specifications, different a little about the definition of training sequence, but the periodicity of periodic signal then can here show equally.The list of references here please refer to the 5.7th and 5.8 joints.For this reason, the periodic signal that is superimposed upon on the assorted letter signal also can detect under the situation of these specifications in the same way.
Fig. 4 represents four signal t that the mode of a time-histories figure is represented 1To t 4The real part 4.1 and imaginary part 4.2 of sum total, wherein, the sampling index is arranged along the x axle, the arbitrary unit of an amplitude then is along the y axle.Sampling rate among the figure is 20MHz, and just 16 sampling points correspond to the repetition period (0.8 μ s) of periodic signal u (t).In Fig. 4, four signal t of described periodic signal u (t) 1To t 4Should be detected next by signal detector 3.
From previous technology " VLSI Implementation of IEEE 802.11a PhysicalLayer, L.Scwoerer, H.Wirz, Nokia Research Center, 6 ThInternational OFDM Workshop 2001-Hamburg, pages 28-1 to 28-4 " in, a signal detector utilizes following automatic calibration function to come the sense cycle signal to know:
c 1 ( t ) = | Σ t i t i + T s ( t ) s * ( t - τ ) | - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, τ is the one-period of periodic signal u (t), and T is integration or totalling cycle.Period tau can be described repetition period (0.8 μ s) or its multiple, just τ=0.8 μ s or 1.6 μ s or 2.4 μ s etc.
Fig. 5 represents two time-histories figure, and wherein in each example, the sampling index is arranged along the x axle, and amplitude then is to arrange along the y axle.The compound digital signal s (t) of icon representation of top.When sampling index 20, periodic signal u (t) appears.And below icon in, automatic calibration function c in the equation as previously described (1) 1(t) be shown among the figure.Signal s (t) does not comprise an assorted letter signal in this situation.Integration or totalling period T then are 0.8 μ s.At 1.6 μ s (corresponding 32 sampling points) afterwards, the last 0.8 μ s of described signal s (t) ideally is associated with the initial 0.8 μ s of described signal s (t), and after periodic signal takes place, the 1.6 μ s that described sum total from dynamic(al) correction still remains unchanged.
Also represent two time-histories figure in Fig. 6, wherein Shang Fang time-histories figure represents signal s (t) equally, and the time-histories figure of below represents automatic calibration function c equally 1(t).Sampling frequency maintains 20MHz equally but signal s (t) described here presents an assorted letter composition.The automatic calibration function c here 1(t) no longer stable.In addition, described automatic calibration function c 1(t) also begin to depart from numerical value 0, very before taking place, just begin to depart from periodic signal.In order to detect described periodic signal reliably, a threshold value must be considered into.If described automatic calibration function c 1(t) surpass described threshold value, so just assume described periodic signal and occur.Described threshold value is high more, according to foregoing function c 1(t) probability that detects the one-period signal low more automatically corrected error.Yet the result of the high like this threshold value of use tends to expend described periodic signal and detects many times before.
Described from dynamic(al) correction c 1(t) also relevant with the power of described signal s (t).Therefore, described this threshold value must be complementary with described signal power.The mean value of the power of described signal s (t) is not constant, output signal is maintained within the interval with attempt because described variable gain amplifier 1 is arranged on the upstream end of described signal detector 3.And to do like this be necessary, to avoid described analog/digital converter 2 situation of overload takes place.Even and input signal r (t) as shown in Figure 2 presents a constant average power, wanting to set described variable gain amplifier is impossible to described correction numerical value immediately.At first need through a series of adjustment.Because the variation of gain, under any circumstance, at the average power of the signal s (t) of the input of described signal detector 3 be bound to fluctuate (fluctuation).When also adding the described periodic signal of being taken in here and be detected and described useful signal when being received, only set a fixing end value on described change gain amplifier 1 is normal.For this reason, described power must be estimated in the process that detects.In the prior art, equation what follows is the power that is used for estimating described signal s (t):
p ( t ) = | Σ t i t i + T s ( t ) s * ( t ) | - - - ( 2 )
Described power p (t) is detected in the time of second above last T employed signal s's (t) during dynamic(al) correction.During this process, must annotate what want is described inhibit signal s from dynamic(al) correction (t-τ) and not exclusively with reference to its power, shown in equation (2).For this reason, a variation when described amplifier gain can't be detected immediately determines by adjusting described threshold value fully.
About a preferred methods of this part for estimating the described signal component power of (comprise described signal s (t) and described inhibit signal s (t-τ),, solve the root of this product subsequently) together earlier with they mutual products.Yet this will cause the manner of execution of an obvious higher cost unfriendly.
The judgement that whether occurs for described periodic signal decides by following situation:
c 1(t)≥p(t)*thr (3)
Wherein, thr represents described threshold value from dynamic(al) correction (not being subjected to Power Limitation).If described c 1(t), be the hypothesis of one-period signal appearance greater than the product of described power of equal and threshold value thr.
The value of described threshold value thr is a high-reliability of wanting periodic signal to detect, and on the other hand, possible one compromise of the fast detecting of periodic signal.
Block diagram is as shown in Figure 7 represented the configuration of a signal detector 3, its be used for carrying out by in the foregoing prior art the concrete equation of implementing.Wherein thick line is represented complex signal and fine rule is represented real number signal.
As have an input DE at the signal detector 3 as shown in the block diagram of Fig. 7, present an input signal there, and the plural digital output signal of a described input signal that is a contrast/digital quantizer 2.Described input signal s (t) is fed to the unit 13 in order to the power estimation, provides the described power budget signal p (t) that is calculated according to equation (2) with the output at it.For this purpose, described unit 13 in order to power estimation has a unit in order to a quantity 5 in addition square, and has a contrast adder 6.Simultaneously, described signal s (t) is fed to an automatic correlation unit 15.Described automatic correlation unit 15 comprises a unit 9, in order to form the complex signal of conjugation, a delay cell is in order to τ during described signal s (t) delay is described, and a multiplier 16, in order to described signal s (t) is multiplied by described delay complex conjugate signal s* (t-τ).After described multiplier 16, setting be to have the adder 11 of a simulation that increases period T and in order to produce the unit 12 of absolute value.The output of described automatic correlation unit 15 is connected to one first input of a decision unit 14.Described thr appears in one second input in described decision unit 14.One the 3rd input of described decision unit 14 is connected to the unit 13 in order to power budget.Described threshold value thr adjusts by multiplier 7.Check via a comparator 8 according to the described threshold value of equation (3).At the output DA of described signal detector 3, a detector signal d (t) can obtain whether to detect the one-period signal to offer some clarification on.
The objective of the invention is to describe in detail a device and a method that is used for detecting the one-period signal, and under the possible performance of budget of minimum, detect the one-period signal reliably, apace.Especially, the Strength Changes of input signal can not cause very big influence to the reliability that detects.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 will no longer go through in ensuing specification to the explanation of Fig. 7, but in the relevant list of references for the technical characterictic relevant with the present invention, will be as detailed description as previously described.
According to signal detector of the present invention, as shown in Figure 8, have an input DE, where can apply an input signal s (t), that is can be the plural digital output signal of described analog/digital converter 2.Described input signal s (t) is fed to a unit 21 in order to estimated amplitude, and makes described unit 21 have the signal of mean amplitude of tide value m (t) in its output supply.Simultaneously, described signal s (t) is fed to a correlation unit 24, and the output of described correlation unit 24 is connected to one first input of a decision unit 14.One threshold value thr appears in one second input of described again decision unit 14.One the 3rd input of described again decision unit 14 is connected to described unit 21 in order to estimated amplitude.Can obtain a detection signal d (t) at the output DA of described signal detector, whether detect the one-period signal with concrete expression.
Described correlation unit 24 comprises the unit 17 in order to decision symbol (sign), and this described unit 17 in order to the decision symbol is finished the complex conjugate of the value of symbol that is determined simultaneously.After described unit 17 in order to the decision symbol is a delay cell 10, and described delay cell 10 is in order to τ during signal s (t) is postponed.One multiplier 16 will be by the delayed symbol that described delay cell 10 is exported the above signal s (t) on duty.After described multiplier, be provided with and have the analog adder 11 that increases period T and in order to produce a unit 19 of absolute value.
Thick line on the figure is represented complex signal (two real number signals), and thick dotted line is represented 2 signals (1 signal of two real numbers) of plural number, and fine rule is then represented real number signal.
In order to calculate described correction function c (t), described correlation unit 24 uses following formula:
c ( t ) = | Σ t i t i + T s ( t ) sgn ( s * ( t - τ ) ) | - - - ( 4 )
Or formula:
c ( t ) = | Σ t i t i + T s ( t ) ( sgn ( s ( t - τ ) ) ) * | - - - ( 5 )
From mathematics, formula (4) can cause identical result with formula (5), because whether first conjugate complex number portion forms with described symbol subsequently whether determine, or whether described first signal determines whether form with described conjugate complex number portion subsequently, all be unessential.Yet, on practice, carry out formula (5), more detail is in the implementation on VLSI (verylarge scale integration) chip and carry out formula (5), that is described conjugate complex number betides after the sign computation, can compare effectively.
Unlike prior art, the symbol of described input signal s (t) in automatic correction calculation of the present invention to list consideration in.
The symbol of described complex signal s (t), form by following formula:
sgn(x)=sgn(Re(x))+j·sgn(Im(x)) (6)
Wherein, j represents the imaginary part unit.One of them calculates described automatic calibration function c (t) and has caused following advantage by foregoing formula (4) or formula (5).
Described from the result of dynamic(al) correction and the amplitude irrelevant (therefore also irrelevant) of described inhibit signal composition with the adjustment of described amplifier 1.Described symbol has and is equivalent to a fixing mean amplitude of tide value of 1.Therefore described result from dynamic(al) correction more can not be subjected to the influence at the gain setting of amplifier 1 consumingly.
Another advantage is that needed complex multiplication operation number significantly reduces on the computational discrimination.Complex multiplication operation is represented the multiplying of complex signal.In Fig. 8, represent by the pattern of lines how described calculating is simplified.Described multiplying need have a simple multiplier 16 of in check adder or subtracter form.The 3rd advantage only need to be still less storage device to store the decay part of described input signal s (t).Each sample of signal only needs two storage areas can store the symbol of described signal s (t) eventually.
Because one of them has known fixed amplitude described two signals, be the performance number of the described mean amplitude of tide value m (t) that makes rather than described signal s (t) be used to set described threshold value thr.Described mean amplitude of tide value m (t) can by, the subduplicate method that for example solves the estimated power value p (t) that is determined by equation (2) is calculated.
Yet in order to make the calculating with by simplifying in order to the unit 21 of estimated amplitude of described amplitude m (t), following equation with advantage also can be applied:
m ( t ) = Σ t i t i + T | ( Re ( s ( t ) ) | + | - ( Im ( s ( t ) ) | - - - ( 6 )
In equation (7), all multiplication expression formulas can be avoided, thereby, in the calculating that described equational numeral is carried out, (calculate the absolute value of real part and imaginary part by the unit 20 that forms absolute value, and the add operation of carrying out two absolute values by described contrast adder 6), chip area on the one VLSI chip, and the consumption of power can reduce.Totalling at described analog adder can extend, and for example, surpasses 16 time indexs, has sample time of T=0.8 μ s of the sampling digit rate of 20MHz with correspondence.
Estimation under the basis of dynamic(al) correction c (t), the information whether described estimated amplitude m (t) and fixing threshold value thr (standard of a judgement that will further describe again in the bright book below) provide periodic signal to occur.
Described criterion is:
c(t)≥m(t)*thr (8)
Suppose that promptly described periodic signal takes place if satisfy the condition of inequality (8).If do not satisfy, suppose that then described periodic signal does not also take place.
Described signal detector 3 can be simplified by carry out the absolute value that is produced from described amplitude during automatic correlation unit 24 calculation equations (4) or equation (5).Normal, this needs multiplying and square root.And this situation can be avoided by a function of the amplitude evaluation of definition piecemeal.Therefore, described amplitude is estimated with following equation:
Figure GA20172145200380023100X01D00101
According to equation (9) and piecemeal the function of definition also can be used for solve an equation (7).Under this situation, must be used for replacing described in order to the unit 19 of estimating absolute value in order to produce the unit 20 of absolute value.
Fig. 9 represents the block diagram of correspondence in order to the unit 19 of estimation absolute value.As shown in Figure 8, described unit 19 in order to the estimation absolute value has one in order to separate a unit 22 that is become real part and imaginary part by plus signal cn (t).In addition, if described imaginary part less than 1/4 o'clock of real part, promptly presents the absolute value of described real part in the output of logical circuit 23.Relative, if described real part less than 1/4 o'clock of imaginary part, promptly presents the absolute value of described imaginary part in the output of logical circuit 23.If when being the situation beyond foregoing two situations, 3/4 numerical value of the summation of the absolute value of described real part and the absolute value of imaginary part will be presented on the output of described logical circuit 23.
As from Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 as can be seen, from real part multiplier 7, separate and do not need extra multiplier (because the already mentioned multiplier 16 in front can be in order to estimate described mean amplitude of tide value m (t) and to estimate that a described multiplier via the performed absolute value in unit 19 can fully omit) by the addition/subtraction device of control.Because the reduction of these simplification and storage element, the reduction of the saving of significant chip area and significant power consumption can with significantly relatively come out in as shown in Figure 7 signal detector.
Naturally, specific embodiments of the invention as shown in Figure 8 also can be used for the circuit of Fig. 2.In addition, according to these two foregoing specifications, the present invention also only is not limited to the sense cycle signal.Especially, the present invention also can be used for detecting actual signal.
